“…This could be due to the combination of F. cernua extract with the other components of the nanolaminates, resulting in a better antimicrobial capacity. These results evidenced the antifungal activity of the ethanol extract of F. cernua, demonstrated in vitro (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2007Rodríguez et al, , 2017, which was also observed on the fruit in this study. This effect could be promoted by the combination of the extract with chitosan, which has also reported antifungal activities (Rabea et al, 2003;Ai et al, 2012;Ruiz-Navajas et al, 2013).…”

“…The positive effect of the nanolaminate coating with the F. cernua extract can inhibit the microorganisms. The antifungal effect of F. cernua has been reported in vitro (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2007Rodríguez et al, , 2017, as well as for chitosan on green asparagus (Qiu et al, 2014).…”

“…Flourensia cernua is an endemic plant of the arid and semi-arid regions of Mexico, and it has been widely studied for its interesting properties. Ethanol extracts of F. cernua have antifungal activity as well as antioxidant capacity (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2007Rodríguez et al, , 2017. However, there are no reports about the application of F. cernua extract as an incorporated functional material in the elaboration of edible nanolaminate coatings.…”

Edible coatings have potential to reduce postharvest losses of fruit such as tomato. In this study, the effects of nanolaminate coatings incorporated with extracts of Flourensia cernua, an endemic plant of the arid and semiarid regions of Mexico, has been investigated. Ethanol extracts of F. cernua (FcE) were prepared and incorporated into polyelectrolyte solutions of alginate and chitosan. The nanolaminates were characterized by determining the zeta potential, contact angle and water vapor and oxygen permeabilities. Shelf-life analyses (20°C for 15 d) were carried out with uncoated fruit (UCF), nanolaminate coating (NL) and nanolaminate coating with FcE (NL + FcE). Physicochemical analyses, gas exchange rates of O 2 and CO 2 and ethylene production, as well as microbiological analyses of treated fruit were measured. Zeta potential and contact angle measurements confirmed the successful assembly of successive nanolayers of alginate and chitosan, as well as those with F. cernua. The nanolaminate coatings resulted in decreased permeabilities to water and O 2. The best treatment of NL + FcE, extended the shelf-life of fruit by reducing weight loss and microbial growth, reducing gas exchange and ethylene production, and maintaining firmness and color. The NL + FcE treatment are an alternative to extend the shelf-life of tomato fruit.

“…The genus Flourensia is formed by about 42 species, which at least nine of them have been found in Mexico (Rios, 2015), and three are considered as endemic of the state of Coahuila: F. cernua, F. microphylla, and F. retinophylla (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2007). F. cernua, commonly known as "hojasén" is the most studied species, as it has proven antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties (Jasso de its structure (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2017b;Stuppner and Müller, 1994;Dillon and Marby, 1977). Meanwhile, F. microphylla has shown antifungal, and also anti-inflammatory, and apoptotic effects on HT-29 colon cancer cells; in which were identified polyols, fatty acids esters, phenolic amines, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids (Jasso de Rodríguez et al, 2017b,a).…”

A B S T R A C TRecently, some species of the genus Flourensia have been identified by their potential health effects (e.g. antiinflammatory and apoptotic). Encapsulation of plant extracts is a process that can allow an adequate dosage administration, as well as to protect bioactive compounds and improve their controlled release in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Therefore, the aims of this work were: to microencapsulate the ethanol extracts of F. cernua, F. microphylla, and F. retinophylla; and to evaluate the controlled release of the microencapsuled extracts in an in vitro GI system. Leaves of Flourensia spp. were collected in wild sites of Coahuila State, and the ethanol extracts were obtained by the Soxhlet method. The encapsulation was performed by the gelation technique, using alginate. The microcapsules formed were characterized in terms of total phenol content (Folin-Ciocalteu method), antioxidant activity by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic) diammonium acid (ABTS), and the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis, and in vitro GI digestion. The microcapsules were found to have spherical-shape and a micro-scale dimension in the range of 2.1-68.8 μm. Also, the built of microcapsules was confirmed by the appearance of an exothermic peak centered at˜600°C in the DSC analysis. F. microphylla noted for its strong antioxidant activity, even in its encapsulated form. In the gastric system the extracts of fresh microcapsules were released from 7.7% to 14.5%, while values of 26.5% to 53.3% were observed for those dried. For the intestinal system, the higher release was observed for dried microcapsules (59.9% to 78.4%) than for those fresh (26.3% to 30.2%). Thus, it was demonstrated that the alginate microcapsule protected the extracts until they were delivered to the target site in the GI model, and this effect was better with the dried microcapsules of Flourensia spp. This study would set the guide for the application of Flourensia spp. extracts in order to take advantage of their benefits to human health.
